About Dr. Sonia Bhalla

Dr. Sonia Bhalla is a Senior Consultant in Ophthalmology at Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon, with over 25 years of experience caring for patients with a wide range of eye conditions. She is equally at home in the operating theatre and the clinic — managing everything from complex cataracts and glaucoma to diabetic eye disease and delicate pediatric cases. Her patients and colleagues know her for combining clinical precision with a genuinely warm, unhurried approach to care.

Dr. Bhalla completed both her MBBS and her postgraduate MS in Ophthalmology at LLRM Medical College, Meerut, where she earned a gold medal for academic excellence. That early dedication to her craft set the tone for a career built on continuous learning. Over the decades she has developed deep expertise in anterior segment surgery, medical retina, and pediatric ophthalmology — areas that often require the most careful judgment and technical skill.

What patients and families tend to appreciate most about Dr. Bhalla is that she takes the time to explain things clearly. Whether she is guiding a parent through a child's first eye procedure or counselling a diabetic patient on protecting their long-term vision, she makes sure people leave her clinic feeling informed and confident about next steps. That clarity and compassion are a consistent thread throughout her practice.

For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Dr. Bhalla offers a reassuring combination of experience, broad surgical capability, and access to the world-class facilities at Fortis Memorial Research Institute. Gaf Healthcare works closely with her team to help overseas patients arrange consultations, plan their treatment journey, and navigate every step of their visit smoothly.
